So how do you feed a stingray anyway?

There is nothing like the experience of standing in crystal blue waters with giant floating saucers swimming only inches from your bare feet. And it can be a bit intimidating the first time you see several of these darkly colored creatures bearing down on you. No need to be scared—they simply know what the people in this area represent: free food. And who doesn’t like free food?

 

The rays’ favorite is succulent squid, and boat operators make sure their patrons have plenty to hold in the palms of their hands. With eyes on top of their bodies and mouths tucked below their bellies, stingrays can’t see where food is, but their powerful sense of smell locates it like a finely tuned radar.

 

The stingrays swim toward an offering and lightly suck it off the person’s hand, with a feeling that resembles a vacuum cleaner. Some stingrays can grow to nearly 6 feet in diameter, and they all have barbs on their tails. A good tip to visitors: don’t grab the rays!

 

It’s been said that the vast majority of guests that the Cayman Islands get  requests

Stingray City unless they are repeat customers and swam with the rays in the past. Overall, it is quite an encounter, made even better by the fantastic ambiance. The temperature in the

Cayman Islands is generally in the 80s year-round, minimally warmer in the summer months. The water temperature ranges between 78 and 82 in the winter and from 82 to 86 in the summer.
